< Esther 5 >

1 Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal clothing, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, next to the king's house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance of the house.
A an-ngol nithum lhinni chun, Esther in lengnu von in akivon in, indan sungnung’a alut in, lengpa touna laltouna na chu angan agading tai. Lengpa chu indan sunga alatouna a chun atouvin, kotphung lam chu ana nga in ahi.
2 When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther came near, and touched the top of the scepter.
Aman lengnu Esther chu indan sungnung lang ngatna a adin chu amutan ahi, hichun aman anasang in asana tenggol chu agah lhundoh peh in ahi. Hichun Esther in anailut in ateng golchu athamtan ahi.
3 Then the king asked her, "What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom."
Hijouchun lengpan adongtan ahi: “Lengnu Esther ipi nadei ham? Ipiham nathum nom chu? Kaleng gam akehkhat jen hijongleh napenge!” ati.
4 Esther said, "If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him."
Esther in adonbut in, “Lengpa nalung ahiding leh lengpa dinga kagon golvah ankong’a hin Haman toh tuni hin hunglhon lechun kati,” ati tan ahi.
5 Then the king said, "Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said." So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Lengpan alhachaho khat akouvin, Esther in agon golvah ankong um ding'in Haman gangtah in hung hen tin aga kousah tai. Hiti chun lengpa le Haman chu Esther golvah ankong um ding'in ache lhontai.
6 The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, "What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed."
Hitia chu aneh uva adon laitah un, lengpan Esther jah a, “Tun ipi mong ham nadeichu seitan, ipiham nathum nomchu? Kalenggam akehkhat hijongleh kapeh ding nahi!” ati.
7 Then Esther answered and said, "My petition and my request is this.
Esther lin adonbut nin: “Hichehi kathum nom leh kangai chatpen chu ahi.
8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said."
Lengpa nalunglhaina kahi khah a chuleh lengpan kathilthum neisanpeh dinghi nalunglhaina ahidinga, kathum neibolpeh dinga ahileh jingteng jongle kagolvah ankonga Haman toh hungkit lhon inlang hitengle chu ipi kadei ham seichen nange” ati.
9 Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the King's Gate, that he did not stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
Hiche golvah ankong adalhah chun Haman akipah lheh jenge! Ahinla Mordecai chu leng inpi kelkot phung’a anatouva, amasang a ding dohlou chule jana imacha apehlou jeh chun Haman alunghan adeojah tan ahi.
10 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.
Ahivanga amale ama akitim ham ham in ain ajon ahi. Hiche jouchun Haman in aloi agol ho leh ajinu Zaresh akou khom in,
11 Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and servants of the king.
Cha tamtah aneijeh leh nei le gou ahaojeh in amaho kom’a chun kiletsah tah in thu aseijin ahi. Lengpan vaipo ho jouse le milen milal hojouse chung alenpenna atahsang nale jana apehho jeh chun aham hoitho lheh jengin ahi.
12 Haman also said, "Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together with the king.
Haman in aseijin “Hiche ho chungchon ah, Esther lengnu in golvah ankong agonna a lengpa toh ankong umkhom dingin koimacha dang koulouvin keibou eikouvin ahi, chule jing jongleh lengpa toh keibou eikoukit lhonin ahi.” Ati.
13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the King's Gate."
“Ahijeng vang'in hiche Judate mipa Mordecai khu khopi kelkotna atou kamulai sen kakipana ho jousehi amolsoh jitai,” ati.
14 Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows be made seventy-three feet eight inches high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet." This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.
Hijeh chun Haman jinu Zaresh chuleh aloi agolhon aseipeh un, “Thinglhon hem feet som sage le nga a sangkhat tungdoh inlang jingkah tengleh lengpa kom’a chun Mordecai khetbehna dingin ga-ngeh lechun ahijenge” ati peh un ahi. Hichechu akichaiteng leh lengnu golvah a ding chun lungmongin chethei tan nate” atiuvin ahi. Hiche chun Haman alunglhai sahlheh jengin thing lhonchu tundoh dingin thu apetai.
